Splyce Set Records for Fastest EU LCS Game

The season is only halfway finished, but Splyce seem to have mixed up their game quite a bit, as evidenced in their extremely quick victory of Giants today in the European League of Legends Championship Series.

When the Giants Nexus finally fell at twenty-seven minutes and three seconds, casters and fans knew immediately that this was a different Splyce squad. Sure, the players were the same, but gone was their usual early game passiveness, instead opting for early moves that allowed the team to snowball out of control very quickly.

Beginning with first blood by Splyce support Raymond “kaSing” Tsang onto Giants jungler Charly “Djoko” Guillard, Giants actually managed to regain some momentum by taking the first turret of the game. Splyce was quick to fire back however, taking a turret of their own as well as an Infernal Dragon for extra firepower.

Moving on to take another turret along with the Rift Herald, Splyce was quick to keep the tempo of the game high, taking more turrets and more dragons whenever possible. An excellent outplay by Splyce top laner Andrei “Odoamne” Pascu which saw him collect a double kill against Giants top laner Kim “Ruin” Hyeong-min and AD Carry Pierre “Steeelback” Medjaldi put Splyce in great position to rapidly take three more turrets before moving on to the Baron.

Once the Baron buff was secured, it wasn’t long before Splyce was able to push into the base of Giants and start destroying their infrastructure. Giants did finally manage to take down Odoamne, but it was too little too late, as Splyce regrouped, secured another Dragon, and once again pushed into the base of Giants. This time, there would be no last chance defence, as Giants were swept away and Splyce cruised into the Spring Split record books.
